FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Will TravPRO reduce the paper load in my office?

As much as you want. All reports can be printed
on demand. On the other hand, you can choose
the ones you want .. and only the ones you want.
You always get the option of displaying on
screen or printing to paper.

What about General Ledger Functions?

We've gone out of our way to leave your options open
here. Knowing that your corporate chartered
accountant may have something to say about this,
we say "Continue to do what you're doing if you're
happy with your current G.L." We make the numbers
your G.L. requires readily available to you. Total
and individual sales, commissions, accounts
receivable/accounts payable. Your job is simply
to plug those numbers into their appropriate spots
on the ledger.

So - how long are you guys gonna be around?

Valid question. The answer is - we were among the
first on the market in 1976 when the earliest
versions of micro computers first appeared on store
shelves (well before the term "PC" was even heard).
We're still here. We're still doing what we do.

Why would I use YOUR ticketing functions rather than provided by the CRS?

It's the ideal "transfer point" of data from a CRS
to a 3rd party system. In TravPRO's case we read
and translate the raw data and do our own formatting
into a ticket display. It's the natural "cutover" point
from which minimal operator-intervention is required.
Data carries forward from ticket to itinerary to
invoice just as it comes from the CRS. You can't get
more accurate than that.

We also happen to believe that ticketing is rightfully
an "in-house" function although until recently Main
Frame CRSs were the only ones with enough computing
power to provide the service. As in-house automation
takes root, many CRS providers will encourage self-ticketing.

Okay. Having spewed on about TravPRO's ticketing capability
we now hasten to point out that you can certainly choose to
stick with conventional ticketing. TravPRO can work around
that very well. Generating an "invoice" will give the system
all the information it needs to keep the database fully
updated.
